Hello. Long time lurker here. I hit the point after 6months of hard work where I dont know if I should start cutting bodyfat or still bulk. Gained 10kilograms per 6months.
Weight 70kg -> 80kg
Height 1.91
I eat around 3000 calories daily if not more. Stopped counting and just eat when ever I...

Just wondering what kind of Men's Physique Pose (Back Pose) would be best for my uneven lats? I've come to realize my right "lats" is slightly larger than my left one (right arm dominant).
When performing my back pose, should I have a twist on my waist? One hand on my waist? No hands on waist?

Hi, new here and I have a question
Six years ago I weighed 140kg.
Today my height is 164 and I weigh around 65kg, all body fat calculators say I'm about 20-21 body fat percentage, my abs are clearly visible (the first 4) and I've read that I shouldent be able to see them before I get to around...

Hey so I am in need of some advice and opinions on what to do with my physique. I just turned 20 my height is 5 foot 9 and I weigh 178 lbs. I started my journey at 220 lbs, I was overweight and wanted a better physique. I have managed to shed about 40 lbs in about a year while retaining most of my...

Hey, I'm 19 and 6 weeks out from my first Men's Physique show. I was originally training for a show that's in 9 weeks, but I don't want to wait that long lol. I was thinking about doing novice class and then open my next show. Am I on track, or should I be a lot leaner by now? Thanks!

Bit of backstory. I play Football as an offensive lineman at university level. I weighed around the 285pound point. I didn't really have a belly, and at good days you could littery see me with abs being that heavy. I decided that I wanted to finish the sport so what happened is I wanted to lose my...

Greetings,
So, in short, I am tired. A LOT. I hardly, almost never work out. I am not in bad shape, got a bit of a beer belly, probably skinny fat to average would be an accurate description of me. The last time I remember feeling good and being in shape consistently was when I was 17. I had...

Hi. I am looking to get back into my strength training after too long a hiatus but this time I want to focus on some aesthetics as well.
I have 20 inch wide shoulders at the moment as a non lifter, no muscle development, about 20% bodyfat at 200 lbs, and my shoulders are extremely rounded.

So the past few months I’ve noticed my right shoulder is both shorter and higher, this is accompanied by an underdeveloped right pectoral muscle.
Symptoms as follows:
Shorter shoulder
Higher shoulder
Pain/discomfort when retracting my scapulae together for stretching (in the right....

Hey guys I made this account after searching through the forums to find an answer unsuccessfully. My right shoulder has a indentation that feels as though it is between two muscles. The other side doesn't feel similar at all wto the touch. I don't find it tooo concerning but it makes my one...

Hey guys, I'm an intermediate weightlifter, I've gone from 150 lbs to 185 pounds in the past 18 months. Not really sure what my body fat percentage is as all the online calculators give me different answers. I'd like to be lean for summer but I'm not sure it's the best idea as I don't want to look...

Hello world.
As spring break approaches in one month, I decided to attempt my first cut since beginning to lift again.
October of 2017 I was around 145 pounds with a decent foundation of muscles. I weighed in around 165 after the short bulk in late January. With spring break approaching I...

Hey guys,
This is my first post here. I am student at UW that has been training for 3 years, and I want to do my first physique competition. I never thought I'd ever do this, but considering my progress I think it would be a waste to not do something with it, you know?
I am currently looking...

Cutting dairy does not bother me much BUT now I have a issue on not been able to take any Whey protein, or any protein that contains "MILK".

Be honest. Everything I've given now was tough for this sport, but I feel as if I'm constantly improving and getting better since I started at 100 lbs. I really feel like if I push myself hard enough I could one day be an IFBB pro.
If it's in my dreams, I will make it.
But, what are your...
